USA

Graduates are usually required to successfully pass all steps of the USMLE examination before they may obtain a licence to practise medicine in the USA.IMS offers  the the students a preparation course toward the USMLE examination.Graduates from Caribbean medical schools are taught under USMLE guidelines, with the intention of having a high USMLE pass rate. Therefore, students interested in practising medicine in the USA are strongly advised to consider studying medicine at a Caribbean medical school.

Other countries

In the academic year 2001/2002 the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) was implemented. This system enables easy transfer to Universities within the EU. The courses studied at UPJS , SSGW and BRNO are recognized at Universities in other EU countries, as are the credit points they are each worth. Complying with this system also creates curriculum transparency which further improves the recognition of the degrees.In those professions where the conditions of education in Slovakia Poland or Czech Republic are identical to those in the European Union, and have already been recognized (medical and dental doctors), the member states of the European Union are obliged to accept the diplomas issued irrespective of the language of instruction.For more information about recognition in your country please contact us: info@ims-medstudy.com.
